Análise comparativa da imunoexpressão de GLUT-1, GLUT-3 e M-CSF em lesão periférica e central de células gigantes

The peripheral giant cell lesion ( PG CL ) and the central giant cell lesion ( CGC L) are lesions histologically similar affecting the head and neck region . The study aimed to analyze the immunohistochemical expression of markers GLUT - 1 , GLUT - 3 and M - CSF in a series of cases of PGCL and CGCL , in trying to understand the different biological behavior of these pathologies . The sample consisted of 20 tissue specimens of PGCL 20 central lesion of not aggressive giant cell ( CLNAGC) and 20 central lesi on of aggressive giant cell ( CLAGC), coming from the Pathology Unit of Oral Pathology of the Department of Dentistry of UFRN . W as performed the s emi - quantitative and qualitative analysis of immunohistochemical expression of the markers in giant cells and m ononuclear cells . In relation to the GLUT - 1, it was found a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in the number of mononuclear cells immunomarked between the PGCL and the CLNAGC and between the PGCL and CLAGC . Regarding the intensity of staining w as also observed a statistically significant difference both at the mononuclear cells as in giant cells between PL and CLNAGC and between PGCL and CLAGC , at the giant cells there was also a statistically significant difference between the CLNAGC and CLAGC . In relation to GLUT - 3 , was found a statistically significant difference between PGCL and CLAGC and between CLAGC and CLNAGC in amount of mononuclear cells immunomarked . Regarding the intensity of labeling for such protein was found a statistically signifi cant difference at the giant cells between PL and CLAGC . To the M - CSF was observed only a statistically significant difference in the intensity of labeling at the mononuclear cells between PGCL and CLNAGC and between PGCL and CLAGC . Based on these results, we can conclude the participation of GLUT - 1, GLUT - 3 and M - CSF in the pathogenesis of the lesions studied. The bigger immunostaining of these proteins in mononuclear cells show that these cells perform a higher metabolic activity and osteoclastogenic, espe cially in CLAGC . It was found that the mononuclear cells were more related to the pathogenesis of the studied lesions than properly the giant s cell s.

Cartilha do silêncio: sob o signo da modernidade e da memória

This research starts from the presupposition that Cartilha do Silêncio(1997), a novel by the Brazilian writer Francisco Dantas, has a double articulated shift. One of the moves is towards the modern experience, with the idea that modernity is filled with contraries, as remarked by Nietzsche; the other is linked to the livelihoods ashore on traditional experiences, which encompasses the notion of memory as individual and collective ownership. The aim here is to analyze such perspective, social and critical issues within the characters' life stories that regards the calling of past as clear example that tradition is not gone, though modern life presents its own signs. Such dynamics gives to the plot a paradoxal feature. This work is mainly grounded on Marshall Berman' s thoughts in All That Is Solid Melts Into Air: The Experience of Modernity (1982) as well as on Antoine Compagnon'sFive Paradoxes of Modernity (1994). Assuming that Francisco Dantas' Novel is set as a split narrative, outcome of social memory originated on individual experiences aside social process and patriarchal family, this research brings into play the concept of memory by Jacques Le Goff in History and Memory (1992) along EcléaBosi's study in Memória e Sociedade: lembranças de velhos (1979). Keen to check how Cartilha do silêncio adjoins modern livelihoods with aesthetics order, the method articulates text and context, literary and social life, according to Antonio Candido'sLiteratura e Sociedade (1965). Thus, after reading the novel, it is possible to notice how the identity of the characters are built throughout the plot and it is also kept against settling on its social context during the transition from patriarchal tradition to modernity, creating a taut mood between both registries.

Vida privada e mídias sociais: impressões da pós-modernidade

This thesis starts from the proposition that postmodernity is the very cultural manifestation of Late Capitalism. The research was concerned with the publication of privacy that gives us news feeds of Facebook online social network. We used netnography, which is considered a construction method in action that combines study skills to immersion of the researcher in the investigated field. Netnography is an alternative methodology for the study of communication threads in cyber environments. We note that there is an exhibition of themselves in a related environment that reproduces the properties of the spectacle society, with an emphasis on the fact that this exhibition be made and want to be made by the individual himself, allegorically, window dresser and with spectacle. The subject is revealed by itself, shown and is induced to show and display at the same time. It is a large-scale exhibition of the private life events; it is more than spectacle, surpassing debordian sense, approaching the exhibitionism in the Freudian sense. It is a subject in a new way of existence. At the time of posting in public, the person violates their privacy. It is the desecration of stardom intimacy. We found that these new behavioral forms sharing of human experiences, under the mediation of typical technologies informationalism era, appear as a major brand of sociability, meshing the ongoing technological revolution.

O teatro de Elias Canetti em diálogo com a pós-modernidade

The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse the dramaturgic work of the Bulgarian author Elias Canetti, composed by the plays The Wedding, Comedy of Vanity and Their Days are Numbered, seeking to comprehend how the contemporary critic theories act on his trilogy, making a dialogue with theoretical references which may justify its approaching to the postmodernism. In this perspective, the theories by Jean-François Lyotard, Fredric Jameson and Jürgen Habermas contribute for a better comprehension of the postmodernity phenomenon. Undertaking Canetti’s notes and theatre with the philosophical concepts of Adorno’s negative aesthetics, we realise there is a space to reflect upon the theories which befell, like Foucault’s power relations in Micro-physics of Power and the discourses of resistance and deterritorialisation developed by Deleuze and Guattari in A Thousand Plateau and Anti-Oedipus. Even though Canetti’s plays were written between 1932 and 1956, all of them show a strong critic against modernism, and their characteristics did not help their recognition by the critics, which resulted in a rediscovery of Canetti’s plays after the author won the Nobel Prize in 1981.

Cenários de contra-hegemonia no protestantismo brasileiro no contexto da pós-modernidade

Since long ago that the religious manifestations are considered important items in various social media. In this sense, we are interested in understanding the strong denominational plurality, and the emergence of new movements / events and forms of Christianity in Brazil, which therefore is a reflection of what happens in the rest of the globalized world. Such interest is covered by the assumption that religiosity and social media are built on mutual and interconnected way, which allows us to understand that social cosmology presents itself as a fertile space privileged and to verify the interactions pertaining to the binomial: religion and society. The Protestantism is divided into three main streams: Historical, Pentecostal and Neo-Pentecostal. Each current of Protestantism emerged to adapt to social cosmology of historical ages, from the Reformation to the present day, forming institutions with certain ethical and moral stances. In this sense, it is necessary to research and understand how the historical Protestant, Pentecostal and neo-Pentecostal were implanted in Brazil. From this we believe to be interesting problematize accurately the following: How have the processes of formation of strands / evangelical movements in Brazil? These movements are still holding their "classic robes" or hybreeding their borders? What are the modulations in the religious transit demonstrate that this probable hybridization? If there is, indeed, a hybridization between the Evangelical means, we can put it is provoked only by a logic of "market of symbolic goods of religion" in the world today? Nowadays, we are experiencing a period of change cosmological, from Modern to Postmodern (caosmológic). This last is therefore characterized by secularization, the fracture, the mutilation, the diversity of subjectivities. And thinking about is this "spirit of the times" we take as the main its theoretical references of this study, the Italian philosopher and thinker of postmodernity Gianni Vattimo featuring postmodernity with the cosmology of fragile / pensiero debole Thought and post-metaphysical, that is which enhances the appearance of more plural institutions and non-absolute. To do so, he makes use of the philosophies of German, Nietzsche and Heidegger. Finally, it must be said that this grounded theoretical framework, raise the hypothesis that the Protestantism tends to "injure anymore" by the influence of postmodern social episteme, providing thereby the emergence of a new hybrid framework has not yet nominated and can move between the three major currents of world Protestantism, with features in converged aspects of the same.

Capela de nossa Senhora da Piedade de Campo Formoso: a invenção de uma cidade à margem da modernidade, 1889-1930

This research objective is to analyze the historical aspects of the city ―Capela de Nossa Senhora da Piedade de Campo Formoso‖, located in the micro region Pires do Rio, southeast of Goiás in the period of the First Republic, 1989-1930. To understand a city is to try to understand the individuals who inhabit it, as they are the ones who are responsible for the structures that forms that space. Therefore this thesis brings to the historiography a study of the city of Capela de Nossa Senhora da Piedade de Campo Formoso through various mechanisms as oral sources, official documents of the municipality collected in public bodies of the city made available in town halls, municipal public and archive file of the prefecture. These sources have helped us to make the knowledge of the place approached. The Republic has brought to different places of Brazil expectations and/or solutions, of innovations that modernized in order to erase the marks the old colonial system. The cities to be created would be part of the molds republicans and this way, should follow models ready coming, basically, from European countries. However, the city of the Capela de Nossa Senhora da Piedade de Campo Formoso is outside of this process moderniser, having been relegated by several years to difficulties of a distant region and without resources. The historiography of Goiás summarizes the period of the arrival of the railroad in the southern region of the State, such as a time of progress in all the sectors of the life of this society. Then, to understand the specificity of Campo Formoso, we approached from the documentary sources exist various elements constitutor city history: its political constitution formed by the most affluent of the city, the strength of the colonels, the role of the Church as a political power. These power relations in the region were decisive for the deviation of the railroad. In this way, also we sought to analyze how the process of urbanization has occurred and which represented for the history of the city Capela de Nossa Senhora da Piedade de Campo Formoso the passage of the Railroad Goiás not within its limits. In the meantime we situate the special policies of a city in the interior of Goiás, which is on the edge of a project set up as amodernizer moved by the First Republic.

Cerâmica de Santo Antônio do Potengi: entre tradição e modernidade

In the Rio Grande do Norte, the craftsmanship is generating of economy, it involves a significant number of people and is diversified in its raw materials and particular type. As reference of the craft local, the ceramics supplied the primary necessities in the utilitarian domestic servants, acquired piety in the religious figures, were toy in infantile amusements and, finally, gained status of pure ornament. By its historical representation, the district of Santo Antônio do Potengi is considered the most important center of manufacture of craftpottery in the State. The work of the potters continues in that locality anchored between the familiar inheritance and the participation each more influential time of the public politics destined to the sector situation verified for visible alterations in the shape of the pottery from the decade of 1990 with the implantation of a cooperative destined to the collective production. We observe in this passage, that such actions in the measure where they objectify to structuralize conditions ideal to support the artisan making, do not benefit in significant way the social development them craftsmen. It is important not to lose of sight that exists some involved dimensions in this process and that these surpass the common interest for the object and the consequent economic connotation of its commercialization. They are knowledge that imply in the access to raw materials, in the peculiar of the formal aspects and productive methods, in the contextual relations organized to defend the survival of the activity

Um espaço pioneiro de modernidade educacional: Grupo Escolar Augusto Severo -Natal/RN -1908-13

Cette recherche a pour but d analyser l Ecole Augusto Severo, située dans la ville de Natal dont la construction date de 1907,étant le premier établissement d enseignement primaire à l état du Rio Grande do Norte, pendant le processus de restructuration de l enseignement républicain. On cherche à comprendre la représentation de ce milieu scolaire, comme équipement urbain, dans le processus de modernisation de la ville et comme modèle éducationnel pour l état entre 1908 et 1913. En se servant des études historiographes sur le processus de modernisation de quelques villes brésiliennes et des innovations de l enseignement public primaire au pays, à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle et pendant la première décennie du vingtième siècle, comme source pour mieux saisir le contexte général et spécifique. On reconstitue les aspects économiques, sociaux et politiques déterminants des interventions publiques réalisées dans cette ville par les gouvernements républicains ayant comme obectif la construction d une ville embellie,hygiénique et civilisée. Située au quartier Ribeira, principal scénario de la modernité de Natal, l Ecole Augusto Severo est mise em relief comme symbole de civilité du paysage urbain de l époque pour le citoyen du Rio Grande do Norte. Elle disposait de services d énergie et d un tram électrique. Il y avait devant, un grand lac arborisé et une station ferroviaire. A côté, il y avait le théâtre Carlos Gomes (actuellement Alberto Maranhão). Par suíte de son imposante architecture, raffiné style éclectique,on reflète l idéal républicain des elites locales, avec une conception d espace symbolique et éducative de surveillance et contrôle, caractéristiques de l école graduée républicaine

Determinación temprana de pérdida de masa ósea en mujeres postmenopáusicas mediante densitometría ósea periférica, en los hospitales Vicente Corral Moscoso, Militar y José Carrasco del IESS, Cuenca 2000

En 500 mujeres hasta 15 años posmenopáusicas, en los hospitales "Vicente Corral Moscoso", "Militar" y "I.E.S.S." de la ciudad de Cuenca, se realiza densitometría periférica en antebrazo para diagnosticar tempranamente pérdida de masa ósea y establecer los probables factores de riesgo relacionados con la osteoporosis. Se observa 28 por ciento [140] mujeres con DMO normal, 50.6 por ciento [253] osteopénicas y 21.4 por ciento [107] osteopénicas. Se evidencia, entre factores de riesgo, que a mayor edad, menor peso y talla, la DMO es menor [p menos 0.001], y mientras más años de postmenopausia han transcurrido, menor es la DMO. Con referencia al estilo de vida, vemos que las mujeres que realizan ejercicio físico regular y las que incluyen en su dieta cantidades adecuadas de calcio, tienen una mayor DMO. En este grupo de estudio, el 21.4 por ciento [107] de mujeres padecen de osteoporosis. El riesgo de esta patología aumenta con la edad y los años de postmenopausia; la actividad física regular, así como una mayor ingesta de calcio son protectores contra la osteoporosis. Estas mujeres son más delgadas y de menor estatura

Papel de la serotonina periférica en la secreción de insulina y la homeostasis de la glucosa

La función más conocida de la serotonina (5-Hidroxi-triptamina, 5HT) se refiere a su acción en el Sistema Nervioso Central (SNC). Sin embargo, la mayoría de la 5HT corporal se genera periféricamente, principalmente en las células enterocromafines del intestino. Se ha descrito que la célula β-pancreática posee un sistema serotoninér-gico propio que le permite sintetizar, almacenar, secretar y responder a la 5HT extracelular a través de sus receptores, de los que se conocen numerosos subtipos agrupados en 7 familias (Htr1-7). Interesantemente, la 5HT se libera conjuntamente con la insulina y sólo recientemente se ha descifrado parte de su significado biológico, que incluiría una compleja combinación de efectos intra y extra-celulares que eventualmente podrían jugar un papel en la regulación de la secreción de esta hormona. De forma fisiológica, la expresión de las enzimas involucradas en la síntesis de 5HT y de sus receptores se modifica marcadamente en células β durante la gestación, en coincidencia con un incremento en el potencial secretor de insulina (vía la acción del receptor ionotrópico Htr3a) y un aumento en la masa de células β (vía la acción de receptores Htr1d y Htr2b). En otros tejidos, se ha sugerido que la 5HT procedente del intestino promueve la gluconeogéne-sis hepática y la lipólisis en adipocitos durante el ayuno, por medio de su acción sobre el receptor Htr2b. En conjunto, estos hallazgos sugieren que la 5HT periférica podría tener un rol importante en la homeostasis de la glucosa por medio de la expresión y activación diferencial de receptores de superficie en células clave, tales como hepatocitos, adipocitos y células β-pancreáticas.

Tumores malignos de la vaina nerviosa periférica como origen de dolor orofacial

Los tumores malignos de la vaina nerviosa periférica (TMVNP), también llamados neurofribrosarcomas o schwannomas malignos, representan el 10% de todos los sarcomas de tejidos blandos. El tumor usualmente se encuentra en las extremidades inferiores, y solo del 10 al 20% de las lesiones ocurren en la región de cabeza y cuello, convirtiéndolas en una entidad rara. Los neurofibromas son tumores de la vaina nerviosa que aparecen comúnmente en la neurofibromatosis 1 o enfermedad de Von Recklinghausen. Se ha reportado que los individuos con antecedentes familiares de neurofibromatosis 1 tienen un riesgo incrementado de desarrollar TMVNP en el transcurso de sus vidas, sin embargo, esta asociación no se ha confirmado en TMVNP a nivel de los nervios craneales. En este artículo los autores analizaron la literatura actual con respecto a los TMVNP del nervio trigémino, así como la inclusión de un caso inusual que involucra las 3 ramas de dicho nervio.

Estandarización de estudios de sangre periférica para reevaluar resultados de biometrías automatizadas y concordancia en dos laboratorios

Implementar las 41 reglas, validadas por el Consenso de la Sociedad Internacional de Hematólogos de Laboratorio, revisando los resultados de biometrías automatizadas con estudio visual de sangre periférica en dos laboratorios de Ecuador; Investigación de tests diagnósticos en 502 sujetos, 395 de primera vez y 107 repeticiones. Las muestras de sangre y los extendidos en placa se obtuvieron y analizaron en Hematología-Laboratorio de Cuenca desde 22 de octubre hasta 12 de noviembre de 2007. El mismo día se envió las respectivas alícuotas y sus frotis a NetL@b en Quito para su revisión y homologación de procedimientos. Se hicieron chequeos delta, combinaciones para definir concordancia, tablas de verdad e indicadores de eficiencia diagnostica. Los deltas porcentuales establecieron datos con un nivel de repetibilidad superior al 90. Kappa dio valores inferiores al 40. Las medianas de los indicadores para los grupos de comparación fueron: sensibilidad, 76; falsos positivos, 17; falsos negativos, 4; valores predictivos positivos, 21; valores predictivos negativos, 81. La implementación de las reglas validadas por el Consenso de la International Society of Laboratory Hematologists fue viable así como las comparaciones entre los laboratorios participantes. La repetibilidad y concordancia fueron aceptables, reconociendo limitaciones tecnológicas y tomando en cuenta la baja prevalencia de enfermedad en los sujetos analizados. Es recomendable que los laboratorios participantes mantengan las reglas validadas en su trabajo diario. Otros laboratorios deberían adoptar las recomendaciones del Consenso
